UncategorizedGov. Edwards Requests Restore Increase Reimbursement Assistance to 100% for Flood Impacted Homeowners
Gov. Edwards Requests Restore Increase Reimbursement Assistance to 100% for Flood Impacted Homeowners
Today, Gov. John Bel Edwards requested the Restore Task Force expand the reimbursement grant award for all eligible homeowners participating in the Restore Homeowner Assistance Program to 100 percent. Currently, the reimbursement amount is 50 percent for homeowners in Phases 3-6. Task Force members will discuss and vote on the proposed increase during their meeting on Friday, July 13.
"This program change would result in an additional $110 million in reimbursement grant funds being made available to more than 10,000 eligible homeowners, said Gov. Edwards. "It has always been our goal to provide as much assistance as possible to homeowners who are stretching their hard-earned paychecks and are tapping into their savings to recover from the devastating floods of March and August 2016. Increasing the reimbursement amount will help ease the burdens of thousands. As the program survey deadline of July 20, 2018 quickly approaches, we now have a more comprehensive understanding of the needs of flood-affected homeowners across the state. I know members of the task force are committed to helping homeowners rebuild and understand how this expansion will provide much needed additional assistance."
The Office of Community Development initially structured the reimbursement portion of the program to meet requirements by the U.S. Department Housing of Urban Development (HUD) that mandated the limited amount of funding made available for the Restore program be prioritized to assist homeowners with the greatest unmet needs. Originally, Phases 1-2- which included low-to-moderate income (LMI) households with either a homeowner age 62 or older or a household member with a disability – allowed for 100 percent of their repair award and 100 percent of their reimbursement award. Homeowners in Phases 3-6 could receive between 50-100 percent of their repair award and 25 percent of their reimbursement award. During the Restore Louisiana Task Force meeting on August 18, 2017, members approved a similar request by Gov. Edwards to increase the tiered award structure for all homeowners in Phases 3-6 to 100 percent of the repair award and 50 percent of their reimbursement award.
If the Task Force recommends this latest expansion request, it must then be submitted to HUD for final approval. Upon HUD's approval, the program will immediately begin working to update grant calculations and contact all eligible applicants, including those homeowners who have already executed their grant agreements.
To date, over 52,000 homeowners have completed the program survey and 37,000 homeowners have submitted formal applications. More than 33,000 applications have been processed and grant determinations made, and 12,750 eligible homeowners have been offered grant awards totaling more than $342 million.
Friday, July 20, 2018, is the deadline for homeowners who have not completed the initial survey to do so in order to participate in the Restore Program. The survey is available online at restore.la.gov or homeowners may call 1-866-735-2001 Monday-Friday.

Q: contao CMS - i dont understand link system I have a problem because I dont't understand system of links in contao (http://demo.contao.org/) but not only in this CMS, Can you help me?
So:
We ALWAYS have link as:
www.something.xx/title-for-example-news.htm,
And the extension is always htm (never php!), no have id of e.g news, is it a good solution? How does it work?
I know way that we have a link for example www.sometking.xx/321-title-for-example-news.htm,
where 321 is id news so we can get easy and fast date from e.g. database, and no colision.
How does it work in contao case? it is fast? Maybe static array of routing? What do you think about it? It looks very pretty but is it fast?

A: Just came across your question by chance. If you're still interested, here you go.
It's just as fast as the link with the id included. Both systems work by looking up the page name or id in the database; contao stores the permalink in the alias column of tl_page.
There is an issue if you alter the page name / alias though: contao does not have a fallback to the id if the alias is not found, so browsing the old page name returns a 404. This differs from Wordpress, for example. Wordpress will never changes the permalink even if you change the name of the page or post. After all, a PERMAlink should never change!

The photocollage and photomontage are very similar techniques: they both want to combine different images into one single new image. The way to achieve this goal is different.
The photocollage uses cut out pieces of images mounted (glued) onto a new image. You can recognize a photocollage on its irregular surface.
The collage technique is old and is commonly used in the other arts, even music and literature are using collage techniques.
In the Interbellum the Surrealists made full use of the (photo)collage to create their new reality. They discovered this technique in the world of advertising.
The photocollages we are presenting here come from the applied arts such as the world of printing and advertising.

Q: Sorting JavaScript Object by property value (Numeric Key) Hold Down! before marking as duplicate or voting down
let's say I have a java Script Object as below and I wanna to sort this object by values, yes I know array is invented for it and has builtin sort but for some reason I have to go with this object :(
var myObj = {"you": 100, "me": 75,"11111": 20, "foo": 116, "bar": 15};

till now I end up with
{11111: 20, bar: 15, me: 75, you: 100, foo: 116}

but you can see it's not what you want, as in that case, I tried many solution from this deprived solution given here the code is below
Object
 .keys(myObj)
 .sort((a, b) => myObj[a]-myObj[b])
 .reduce((_sortedObj, key) => ({
   ..._sortedObj,
   [key]: myObj[key]
 }), {})

Edit I see this question already it's not my case as I have numeric values so not any single answer given there helpful for me

A: It is not possible.
In ES2015+, the traversal order of object properties are:

*

*First, the keys that are integer indices, in ascending numeric order.

*Then, all other string keys, in the order in which they were added to the object.

*Lastly, all symbol keys, in the order in which they were added to the object.

Even if you add the 11111 key at the end, it will always be fetched first when you use Object.keys() or for...in loops

const obj = {};
obj["first"] = 1
obj["second"] = 2
obj["200"] = 200 // integer keys
obj["100"] = 100

// 100 and 200 property will be moved to the top even if they are added in the end
// 200 was added before 100, but it will be printed after 100
// because integer indices are traversed in ascending numeric order
console.log(obj)

// 100 will be the first key
console.log(Object.keys(obj))

You could use use a Map object instead. It has key-value pairs and it remembers the original insertion order of the keys.

A: Don't know if this answer could possibly help you:
Sort a dictionary by value in JavaScript
After running the code in that answer on your dictionary I got this:

Is this something you could work with?

The Cassini program is an international cooperative effort involving NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Italian space agency, Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI), as well as several separate European academic and industrial contributors. The Cassini partnership represents an undertaking whose scope and cost would not likely be borne by any single nation, but is made possible through shared investment and participation. Through the mission, about 260 scientists from 17 countries hope to gain a better understanding of Saturn, its stunning rings, its magnetosphere, Titan and its other icy moons.
The International Rosetta Mission was approved in November 1993 by ESA's Science Programme Committee as the Planetary Cornerstone Mission in ESA's long-term space science programme. The original mission goal was to rendezvous with comet 46P/Wirtanen. As a result of the launch postponement (to March 2004) a new target was selected: Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. On its 10 year journey to the comet, the spacecraft has passed close to two asteroids: 2867 Steins (in 2008) and 21 Lutetia (in 2010).

Bill Gates to create smart city in Arizona
The world's richest man wants to create a smart city in the desert with efficient transportation, self-driving cars and high-speed internet
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has invested $80 million into creation of a new smart city in Arizona — JStone / Shutterstock
The world has a chance to experience the creation of the first fully automated city. Billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has invested $80 million in buying land in the Arizona desert where he plans to build a smart community that will feature cutting-edge tech at its core.
The 25,000 acres, about 45 miles west of Phoenix, will be called Belmont after the investment group Belmont Partners through which Gates has committed the funds. The area lies close to a motorway to Las Vegas.
The firm expects its development to have all the perks of futuristic technology, featuring automated transportation with self-driving cars and traffic lights that communicate with each other.
"Belmont will create a forward-thinking community with a communication and infrastructure spine that embraces cutting-edge technology, designed around high-speed digital networks, data centres, new manufacturing technologies and distribution models, autonomous vehicles and autonomous logistics hubs," the company said in a statement.
Belmont will be built 45 miles west of Phoenix in the Arizona desert — Shutterstock
The interest around so-called smart cities has been rising recently. Communities seek to use technology to keep streets clean, to keep traffic safer and moving faster, and to make life more comfortable.
Similar systems are being used in Izmir where the benefits of high-tech implementation have improved everyday life. Travel times have been shortened by 30-65 per cent in the Turkish city since smart city devices were installed. Belmont's planners want to take another step ahead.
"The experimentation that takes place in this new Belmont community has the potential to demonstrate the viability of new smart city concepts and serve as an example for cities nationwide and globally," Brooks Rainwater, the director of the City Solutions and Applied Research Center at the National League of Cities, told Business Insider.
Belmont will consist of 80,000 residential units, with more than 3,400 acres of open space and 3,800 acres for office, commercial and retail space. Public schools will be built upon 470 acres of land, the firm said.

Pathways to College Online Library
AIR hosted the Pathways to College Online Library, a database of studies, articles, tools, and other resources where researchers, practitioners, and policymakers could access resources on preparing students for success in college and beyond. The Library contained more than 3,500 entries from a variety of sources, including peer-reviewed journals, professional associations, research centers, policy organizations, universities, the U.S. Department of Education and other federal agencies, state and local agencies, and others.
The library originated with the Pathways to College Network (PCN), an alliance of national organizations established in 2000 to improve the college preparation, access, and success of students from populations that have historically been underrepresented in higher education.
The Pathways partners emphasized using data and research to inform decisions about effective strategies for making such improvements, so the PCN website became a repository for research studies about all aspects of college access and success. In 2004, Pathways partnered with Encouragement Services, Inc. (ESI) and the Indiana Pathways to College Network to incorporate these materials into an online database.
Located first at The Education Resources Institute (TERI) and then the Institute for Higher Education Policy, the Pathways to College Online Library moved to AIR in early 2013.

Las relaciones entre la Mancomunidad de las Bahamas y la República de Colombia se iniciaron el 26 de agosto de 1977, cuatro años después de la independencia del país caribeño. Aunque en la actualidad Bahamas y Colombia no cuentan contratados bilaterales, tienen un peso comercial sobresaliente.

Agenda
La agenda entre las Bahamas y Colombia se limita a Estrategia de Cooperación de Colombia con la Cuenca del Caribe y al apoyo que esta presta a los países de esta zona.

Dos de los temas que no han sido tratados bilateralmente, pero sí en foros multilaterales, son:
 Narcotráfico: Las Bahamas resulta ser una ruta importante para el transporte de cocaína hacia los Estados Unidos y hacia Europa, es porque Bahamas cuenta con una base militar Estadounidense en su territorio. Este tránsito se remonta al narcotraficante Carlos Lehder, el cual ya tenía un gran control del país insular para la década de 1990, gracias a los sobornos, en los que estaba incluido en entonces Primer Ministro Bahameño, Lynden Pindling. Otro caso fue el del presunto criminal por tráfico de estupefacientes bahameño Dwight Warren Knowles, el que fue extraditado a Estados Unidos desde Colombia.
 Tránsito de personas: Los colombianos que quieren ingresar ilegalmente a los Estados Unidos han utilizado a las Bahamas como una parada en su ruta de acceso.

Diplomacia
Las relaciones entre las Bahamas y Colombia son muy limitadas, más allá del comercio o la cooperación. En la actualidad estos Estados no han suscrito ningún acuerdo de ninguna índole a pesar de tener más de 35 años de relaciones. Ninguno de los dos países tiene embajadas o consulado en el territorio del otro, así que, la embajada concurrente para las Bahamas de Colombia se encuentra en La Habana, mientras que la concurrente para Colombia se encuentra en Washington D.C.

Por otro lado, en cuanto a las relaciones consulares el consulado de las Bahamas en Washington D.C. se encarga de estas relaciones para los ciudadanos colombianos, en su lugar, el consulado de Colombia en la ciudad de Miami es quien se encarga de los trámites consulares para los bahameños.

En 2013, la que para entonces era la Viceministra de Relaciones Exteriores de Colombia, Mónica Lanzetta, visitó las Bahamas para fortalecer los temas regionales, comerciales y de cooperación.

Visas
La relación de visas (turismo/visita) entre Bahamas y Colombia:
 Los bahameños no deberán acceder a una visa de turista para ingresar a Colombia por estadías menores a 90 días.
 Los colombianos no deberán acceder a una visa de turista para ingresar a Bahamas por estadías menores a 90 días.

Comercio
Los movimientos comerciales entre las Bahamas y Colombia se basan en las exportaciones que Colombia envía al país caribeño, ya que, este representa un peso considerable en ambas economías, ya que, estas exportaciones son básicamente petróleo, por lo cual Bahamas es el principal socio comercial de la CARICOM para Colombia. Aunque, Bahamas no hace parte del tratado de 1994 que suscribieron los países de la CARICOM y Colombia.

Amsterdam is a hidden-gem family destination, and my kids still say it's their favorite city. It's an old city (dates back to 12th century), with a beautifully preserved city center – canals, locks, bridges, canal houses in all shapes and sizes (including the smallest house that is only as wide as the doorway). Traveling with kids in Amsterdam, it's a great city to explore on foot or rent bikes.
Amsterdam Photo Album
Canals & Anne Frank House
Waterfront & Dam Square
Museum Quarter – Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum
Plantage – Artis Zoo
Windmills - Zaanse Schans
Rent bicycles – Amsterdam is a good city for biking – it's flat, there are bike lanes and you can really see things. Small size kids' bikes are available for rent and there's also bikes with a carrying for toddlers.
Be sure to lock your bikes as bike theft is common. (Note: Stolen bikes are often just jettisoned into the canals. The city has a special crane and hook for pulling bicycles out of the water. It's fun to watch.)
Take a tour of a diamond "factory" – For centuries, Amsterdam has been a center of the diamond industry. If anyone in your family likes jewelry, ask at your hotel about a diamond "factory" tour. The "factory" is an atelier where diamonds are cut and polished into exquisite shapes. Find out what makes a diamond perfect.
Relax in the parks – Amsterdam is dotted with wonderful parks that have lots of green space and playgrounds for toddlers. In the center of Amsterdam, visit the Vondelpark. Other good parks are the Westerpark, Beatrixpark, Rembrandtpark.
There are also small playgrounds, near the Noorderkerk, (slides and swings) and Frederick Hendrik Plein (sandbox and jungle gym) in the Jordaan.
Fun food –
Our favorite snack is "Vlaamse frites" (French fries). The frites are freshly cooked, dusted with a little oil and salt, poured into a paper cone and eaten with tiny plastic forks. Douse your frites in all kinds of sauces, not just ketchup, but mayonnaise, peanut sauce, etc. We sampled Vlaamse frites all over the city, but our first choice was Smullers in Centraal Station.
In the sweets department, there are lots of choices, including pancakes (pannenkoeken), gauffre (waffles), and profertjes, a fried confection dusted in powdered sugar. The Pancake Bakery at Prinsengracht 191 has a wide selection of pancakes. If your kids love chocolate, Dutch chocolate is delicious in numerous forms – hot chocolate to drink and chocolate candies in unusual shapes.
There are lots of delightful things to buy besides wooden shoes and toy windmills. Bicycle horns shaped like alligators are fun. Small Delftware tiles and tiny ceramic canal houses are a good buy.
Travel for Kids has lots of fun things to do with kids in Amsterdam, but you'll need a fun place to stay.
Here's our own Travel for Kids hand-picked list of family hotels and apartment rentals in Amsterdam, different styles and price ranges, in neighborhoods near to places you'll want to explore:

Molly Blaisdell, Nancy Lane
On a summer day, Rembrandt and his son Titus spend the morning sketching outside the city; Titus wishes he could paint like his father.

Fun biography of Rembrandt, one of the greatest painters of all time, who lived in Amsterdam all his life. Rembrandt liked to spend time with his family, and painted his mother reading, his wife dressed in bright clothes and jewels, his son doing homework, and plenty of pictures of himself. (Picture book)

SEATTLE (AP) -Finally, there's a bit of promising optimism from a sports team in this slumping city.
Single game tickets to UW non-league games are on sale now through the Husky Ticket Office.
The Huskies begin practice late next week in preparation for their season opener at Portland on Nov. 15. Romar is eager for practice to begin so he can see how an experienced group of veteran leaders - headlined by bruising forward Jon Brockman - meshes with some brash and talented young stars, led by diminutive guard Isaiah Thomas.
While the rest of the city wallows in the struggles of the Seahawks and Huskies on the football field, and the departure of the SuperSonics, the Washington basketball program thinks it could fill the void with a team that is reminiscent of a few years ago when the Huskies made three consecutive appearances in the NCAA tournament.
The up-tempo, high-scoring approach that made Washington a favorite of highlight films and turned Nate Robinson and Brandon Roy into first-round NBA draft picks may very well be back.
'I wish I would have known what this felt like when I was a freshman, sophomore and junior, because I would have had a better understanding for what those other guys were feeling, because it definitely means a lot more knowing this is the last time you're going to do it,' Brockman said.
The last two seasons have been underachieving disappointments for Brockman and his teammates. Two years ago, with 7-footer Spencer Hawes the main focus, Washington finished 19-12, but missed the postseason. Last year, the Huskies qualified for the fledgling College Basketball Invitational postseason tournament, only to lose 72-71 at home to Valparaiso in the first round. Washington finished the year 16-17.
The arrival of Thomas - along with fellow freshmen Tyreese Breshers, Scott Suggs and Elston Turner - has been anticipated for some time. Thomas is the gem of the group, even at just 5-8, but with a scoring punch that has electrified anyone who has seen him play. Thomas stole the show at the Washington Class 4A state prep basketball tournament a few years ago, averaging 41.5 points and scoring 51 points in one game.
He spent the last two years at South Kent Prep in Connecticut and was the league MVP in his first year at the school. Supremely confident, Thomas says he knows he'll make an impact as a freshman.

Q: if ka + lb = 1, then a and b are relatively prime Me and a friend are having a small arguement. My friend says the statement is false but I'm saying its true.
My friend thinks its false because ka + lb does not necessarily equal 1. Rather, it can equal anything as long as k and l holds.
I say its true because the gcd(a,b) = d = ka + lb, a theorem we used earlier.
We understand this is supposed to be easy, but we can't agree on this.

A: One can show the ideal $I=\{ka+lb\mid k,l\in\mathbf Z\}$ is equal to the ideal generated by $\gcd(a,b)$. Hence if $ka+lb=1$ for some $k,l\in \mathbf Z$, $a$ and $b$ are coprime.
Indeed, if $d=k_0 a+l_0 b$ is the smallest positive element of $I$, you can perform a Euclidean division of $a$ by $d$: $a=qd+r\enspace(0\le r<d)$. Then
$$0\le r=a-qd=(1-qk_0)a -ql_0b$$
is a non-negative element of $I$ which is smaller than $d$. By the minimality of $d$, we have $r$, i. e. $d$ divides $a$. For similar reasons, $d$ divides $b$.


We are up to all kinds of things!

Blue-chip bosses in UK earn 183 times more than other employees
August 19 ,2015 | by Thiago Kiwi
Britain's top companies have a widening pay gap between bosses and average workers, according to a new report.
The High Pay Centre pressure group has revealed that the average FTSE 100 chief executive earns 183 times more than employees lower down the scale. What's more, although the FTSE 100 shrank by 3% in 2014 average executive remuneration increased.
Using figures from the company reports on the UK's largest firms, The High Pay Centre found that a chief executive's average total pay hit £4.964m in 2014, up from £4.923m in 2013.
In contrast, according to the Office for National Statistics the average worker in the UK economy earned £27,200 in the same period.
In 2014, Sir Martin Sorrell of WPP was awarded a total package worth £43m and took the top place in the high earners' chart, with Ben van Beurden of Royal Dutch Shell coming in second with £19.5m and Erik Engstrom of Reed Elsevier in third place with £16.2m.
Failure of governance
The High Pay Centre's director, Deborah Hargreaves, said the situation reflects a failure of corporate governance because rising rewards for top executives are not always matched with the performance of the companies under their stewardship.
"Pay packages of this size go far beyond what is sensible or necessary to reward and inspire top executives. It's more likely that corporate governance structures in the UK are riddled with glaring weaknesses and conflicts of interest," she said.
Shareholder pressure
Previous Business Secretary Vince Cable introduced legislation that compels companies to hold a binding vote at least every three years on future pay policy. This year, some shareholders also voted against high remuneration packages, including those at Burberry, HSBC and Wm. Morrison Supermarkets.

ALGAE ART in the remote MONA ISLAND Paradise - ABOUT ALGAE OR SEAWEED

ABOUT ALGAE OR SEAWEED
REF By
Jennifer Kennedy
Three Types of Marine Algae (Seaweed) (thoughtco.com)
Seaweed is the common name for marine algae. Even though they may look like underwater plants—in some cases, growing in excess of more than 150 feet in length—seaweeds are not plants at all.
Instead, marine algae are a group of species from the Protista kingdom that fall into three distinct groups:
Brown Algae (Phaeophyta)
Green Algae (Chlorophyta)
Red Algae (Rhodophyta)
Although algae are not plants, they do share some basic characteristics with them. Like plants, marine algae use chlorophyll for photosynthesis. Seaweeds also have plant-like cell walls. However, unlike plants, seaweeds have no root or internal vascular systems, nor do they produce seeds or flowers, both of which are required to be classified as plants.
Brown algae, from the phylum Phaeophyta (meaning "dusky plants"), is the most prevalent type of seaweed. Brown or yellow-brown in color, brown algae are found in the waters of both temperate or arctic climates. While not roots in the true sense, brown algae typically have root-like structures called "holdfasts" that are used to anchor the algae to a surface.
Seaweeds can thrive in both salt and freshwater, but the brown algae known as kelp grows only in saltwater, most often along rocky coastlines. There are about 30 kelp varieties. One of them forms the giant kelp forests near the California coast, while another makes up the floating kelp beds in the Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic Ocean.
One of the most widely consumed seaweeds, kelp contains many important vitamins and minerals including vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, vitamin E, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, iodine, calcium, magnesium, iron, sodium, phosphorus, as well as small amounts of zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium.
Red algae
There are more than 6,000 species of red algae. Red algae gain their often brilliant colors thanks to the pigment phycoerythrin. The ability to absorb blue light allows red algae to live at greater depths than either brown or green algae.
Coralline algae, a subgroup of red algae, is important in the formation of coral reefs. Several types of red algae are used in food additives, and some are regular parts of Asian cuisine. Examples of red algae include Irish moss, coralline (Corallinales), and dulse (Palmaria palmata).
4,000 species of GREEN algae
More than 4,000 species of green algae exist on the planet. Green algae can be found in marine or freshwater habitats, and some even thrive in moist soils. These algae come in three forms: unicellular, colonial, or multicellular.
Sea lettuce (Ulva lactuca) is a type of green algae commonly found in tidal pools. Codium, another green algae variety, is the favored food of some sea slugs, while the species Codium fragile is commonly referred to as "dead man's fingers."

> About Ray Mears' Bushcraft
About Ray Mears' Bushcraft
He may look like a jolly local butcher, but Ray Mears is basically a real-life Rambo, only without the Vietnam flasbhbacks. The great survival guru is at his most enlightening in his landmark show Ray Mears' Bushcraft.
If it wasn't for Ray Mears, most of us would have a very hazy view of bushcraft (by which we mean, we wouldn't know what the sod it was). Yet this seemingly ordinary bloke, a self-taught master of mud, wizard of water and, er, god of grass (?) has single-handedly made the world and its rich and centuries-spanning history common knowledge to even the most urbanised of Brits. And Ray Mears' Bushcraft could well be regarded as his definitive, flagship show.
It begins in Britain, which is pretty appropriate as Ray first learnt the basics of bushcraft in the fields and forests we all take for granted. He shows us how our Stone Age ancestors used their skills to hunt down food and survive despite having the odds against them. These were proper hunter-gatherers, and their like is still around today. Not in Britain, mind, but in South America. And yes, that's where Ray heads to for a deeper insight into the hidden communities of the Amazon rainforest.
He hobnobs with the Yekuana tribe, who live in perfect balanced harmony with their dazzling, sweltering environment. And it is a truly staggering world they inhabit – with epic waterfalls, legions of brilliant butterflies and towering trees, it's like something from the prehistoric era. You half expect a triceratops to nose its way through the leaves.
The series also sees Ray visit Tanzania where he meets with the Hadza people, of whom there are fewer than 1,000 in the world. They show off their incredible bow-making skills, and demonstrate the importance of bushcraft to their daily lives. Ray being Ray, he doesn't stick around one place for too long, and actually goes on a walking safari across the breathtaking continent. Not for him a Jeep and hotel – he decides to sleep under the stars instead, gazing out at the sort of sky most of us here in Britain just don't ever get to enjoy.
Now, hands up if you're lifelong dream has been to build a birch bark canoe. No? Anyone? You at the back? OK, so Ray's interests aren't for everyone, but his enthusiasm is truly infectious, and we're swept along with him as he makes his much-loved birch bark canoe and demonstrates just why he's such a fan of the thing. Speaking of boats, he also makes one using buffalo skin while out on the American Prairies (he does get around in this programme). He also mingles with the Shoshone, a Native American tribe who promise to even show Ray a thing or two about the ancient art of bushcraft. You can imagine how thrilled Ray is to meet with such exemplars of the skill of survival in nature.
But bushcraft IS actually in widespread use in one modern European nation. Where do we mean? Sweden, of all places – proving it does have more to offer than a utopian model of democracy, and girls who haunt our most juvenile and fevered dreams. Ray shows just why bushcraft is so important to their culture, and even manages to find time to make some traditional, cavemannish skiis and go on a dog sled journey into a very cold landscape indeed.
As if all that wasn't enough, Ray also goes a bit Bill Oddie throughout the series sharing his passion and knowledge about such everyday animals as deer and badgers, as well as his general obsession with outdoor living that should be an example to us all. Now, who's for camping?

Q: How can the, encrypted with AES, and BASE64 encoded, SSH private key, have size smaller than specified? This might be obvious to some, but I wonder, if I generated 8192 key in size with:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 8192

How can the, encrypted with AES, and BASE64 encoded, SSH private key, have size smaller than specified 8192?
It has a size of 6446.
Is there some compression involved?

A: RSA key lengths are specified in bits, not bytes. Your bit RSA key has a modulus of length 8192 bits, i.e. 1024 bytes.

A: An 8192 rsa key is 8192 bits, not bytes. That is 1024 bytes.
Encoding bytes in BASE64 increase its size in a factor of 4/3:
$ echo $((1024*8/6))
1365

Which is close to the size of the key inside the public key file.
$ awk '{print $2}' rsatest.pub | wc -c
1397

Of course, the "private key file" contains (at least):

*

*the value of m (public modulus)

*the value of e

*the value of d

*the value of p

*the value of q

And, in fact, it contains 8 (big and small) numbers:
cat rsatest | grep -v -- ----- | tr -d '\n' | base64 -d | openssl asn1parse -inform DER

That increase the size in a factor of at least 4, it contains 6363 bytes.
Some other way to look inside the private file is:
openssl rsa -text -in rsatest

Which shows that what the file contains are integers for

*

*modulus

*publicExponent

*privateExponent

*prime1

*prime2

*exponent1

*exponent2

*coefficient

Q: How to make a white popup text box appear after clicking a button? so right now, I have many buttons on a webpage. Most of these buttons contain one url which when clicked directly sends you to the webpage with the url. Some buttons, however, consist of multiple urls. For these buttons, I would like a white text box with the list of urls to appear after the user clicks the button. Separating these multiple urls buttons into single url buttons is not an option.
I've looked into System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox. but that does not produce desirable results.
I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance.

The following is an article that I wrote for the American Management Association. In it, I describe a leadership skill that has the potential for great return to the workplace. The problem is that this skill often gets little respect from managers.
The late comedian Rodney Dangerfield made a successful career of explaining how "he got no respect." His comedy routine was a collection of jokes about the disrespect he encountered from everyone in his life.
There is a critical leadership skill that--like Rodney Dangerfield--gets little respect. In fact, many leaders could immediately improve their effectiveness, if they made the time to use this skill correctly.
So, what is the leadership skill that gets little respect? It's listening! For proof that leaders can listen more, consider the popular television show Undercover Boss. Many of the episodes show leaders that have unintentionally failed to listen and understand the needs of their employees. This lack of listening has real costs on their businesses.
Effective listening is more than allowing others to speak without interrupting them, however. It is listening to understand. It is not listening so you can respond back with your own views.
Leadership expert, Steve Covey, explained the power of listening to understand. Listening to understand requires two actions. First, you will listen to your employees until they believe that you fully understand their perspectives. Second, you will use thoughtful questioning to explore their perspectives.
Listening is a Big Deal!
Ask more and tell less: Asking more questions will help you gather important operational information. Questions are also helpful as a coaching tool to develop your employees.
Use open-ended questions frequently: Asking open-ended questions (questions that cannot be answered by a simple "yes" or "no") is the best tool for gathering in-depth information and for encouraging discussion.
Do not multi-task: Eliminating distractions and giving your full attention to people tells them that what they have to say is important to you. It also will prevent you from missing key information.
Pay attention to body language: Observing the visual and audio cues that others give will provide insights into what they are feeling. You can then follow-up as appropriate.
Problem solving: You will get better information for organizational problem solving and decision-making. For example, the popular lean and six sigma tool 5 Whys is a simple questioning and listening technique that is used for root-cause analysis.
Performance management: You can address employee performance gaps by using listening and questioning as part of an organized coaching process. For example, you can first listen to your employee explain the reasons for their performance issues. You can then question him or her on their approach to solving the problem. With this approach, you make your employee responsible for improving his or her performance.
Conflict resolution: You can use listening and questioning to diffuse strong emotions and resolve the conflict. For example, it's difficult for a person to remain upset with you when you (1) control your own emotions and (2) make a real attempt through listening and questioning to understand their perspective.
As I help managers with the people side of the business, I find that insufficient listening is a contributing factor to most organizational problems. In these instances, people throughout the organization, including the leaders, have stopped listening to each other.
Listening really is the underrated skill of leadership.
Listening needs a little more respect!

Congress: Portrait of a party in decline
Deccan Herald
Is the Congress party, India's oldest political outfit and its preeminent political force for much of 72 years since Independence, in death throes?

Importing this file as in index.test.js
import * as Postman from 'postman.js';

How do I mock its publish and subscribe events in jest.
I have tried
jest.mock('Postman.publish', () =>({//some code}))

Error : Cannot find module Postman.publish from 'index.test.js'
Please help how it is possible to  mock the above file. Is it even possible?

A: Your Postman.js is in AMD & Jest does not support AMD. So you need to convert AMD to commonjs.
You can use babel-plugin-transform-amd-to-commonjs for conversion.
